Day #22 a freezing Friday and football!

Tonight was the Utah State v BYU game. It had been a little chilly during the day, but sunny enough to wear a cute sundress. But fall I definitely coming cause it was CHILLY!! We all ended up wearing polka-dot shoes to the game. So fun! We also stayed for the entire game, an accomplishment, and BYU WON!!!

Day #21 kittens and dancing

Today (Thursday) we had a pet....for about 5 minutes! But we had so much fun!! Hollie was walking out the door then told me to come outside. There was a cute little kitten looking at us! We played with him for a little bit, took him inside cause he kept trying to run away, an gave him some milk. Then we found out that the cute little kitty had escaped from his apartment above us, so we returned him to his owners :) It was so fun while it lasted. (picture to come)
I also got 4th place at a mock competition last night. It was way fun. I forgot how much I love dancing and performing!

Day #20 running and baking = successful day

I finally went on a run for the first time in 3 weeks!! So needed!! Running just makes everything feel a little bit better :)
The chill in the air also felt so good. I love Fall!!
I also went to town baking today! I made my granola, snicker doodles, and sour cream banana pancakes with Carmel buttermilk syrup :) Lots of dishes but so much good food.

I can honestly say that cooking and running are two of my favorite things to do...and that's a pretty good combo too!

Day # 19 oh floral design...

Today in floral design class she gave free ties to all the guys, but they had to earn it. It was pretty hilarious. She had all the guys come up to the front of the class say where they were from, why they are taking the class, what their name is, and if they were single or not!!!! Oh only at BYU!! Then at the end of class she picked out names out of a bag to give away the rest of the ties. My name was picked!!! It's always exciting to get free stuff!

Oh!! And the label on the tie says its worth $388!! Hard to believe, but what a steal ;)

We also made tropical flower arrangements! On my way home I ran into Madi, and then a guy randomly came up to us and told me what kind of animals/insect pollinated each different kind of flower...there is always so much to learn! Who knew a bird could pollinate a flower?! Haha

Day #18 Happy Monday!!

It was a good day! I took a 45 minute nap...what wonders a nap can do for you :)  It was nice to relax.
Starlee and I also got to be little gardeners yesterday. We picked more apples, watered plants, ate all the yummy raspberries off of the vine, and mowed the lawn. We're practically professional.
FHE was wonderful last night as well. Sister Ferrin made us homemade bread and honey butter. It was so delicious.  One day I want to be able to bake like that and make my house smell like homemade bread :)

Day #17 Photo Shoot

We did a "photo shoot" yesterday for fun!  They turned out sooo great!! I love my friends and am so grateful for their kindness, spontaneity, and the examples that they are :)

And a big THANKS to Hollie's friend Lane for taking these AMAZING pictures!

These are some of our FAVES :)

My roomie :)

Our "boy band" shot

She's ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!

Day #16 Boating!

Saturday was such an exciting day!! I was so exhausted by the end, but that was cause I was having too much fun!! :)

I took my last test first thing in the morning...what a RELIEF to have those out of the way!

Then I went BOATING with friends in my ward.  Utah Lake was a little chilly, but we braved it! We wake boarded and surfed as well.  I had never done the surfing thing before, but it was so much fun!!! I couldn't make it back into the wake again after getting out, but I had some sweet wipeouts (maybe two face plants or so). haha  

The Relief Society General Broadcast was WONDERFUL last night.  If you haven't watched it you should--here's the link!  It was so comforting and inspiring. It has made me want to be a more charitable person. If everyone does their part to serve and help out here and there, we will all be happier and will be able to help one another out. This gospel is amazingly simple and yet it blesses my life so much!!!!

Then we decided to make shakes, so we went to the grocery store and got ice cream and Oreos. So yummy!! We finished off the night watching Dan in Real Life. Good Saturday :)
